DHEDA, Prof Keertan Keertan Dheda (MBBCh (Wits), FCP (SA), FCCP, PhD (Lond)) is Head of the Lung Infection and Immunity Unit and Associate Professor of Respiratory Medicine (SARChI), Division of Pulmonology and UCT Lung Institute, Department of Medicine, University of Cape Town.

He holds an honorary faculty position at UCL. His group’s main research interests are the study of pulmonary regulatory immunological pathways in relation to infection, rapid and field-friendly diagnosis of tuberculosis, and drug-resistant tuberculosis. His work is funded by the SA MRC, SA NRF, EU FP7, EDCTP and NIH. EGAN, Prof Timothy PhD (Bioinorganic Chemistry), Head of Department and Jamison Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, Science Faculty, UCT.

Research interests: understanding how the malaria parasite deals with the large influx of haem associated with ingestion and degradation of haemoglobin in its digestive vacuole and the effects of antimalarials such as chloroquine, which inhibit this process. Biomimetic investigations of β-haematin (synthetic haemozoin/malaria pigment) formation.

Speciation and behaviour of free Fe(III) haem in aqueous solution. Interaction of Fe(III) haem with antimalarials and effects on haem in cultured parasites.

Synthesis and high school dxd s5 relationship studies on β-haematin inhibiting compounds. JOSEPH DAVEY, Dr Dvora BA, MPH, PhD (Epidemiology).

Honorary Senior Lecturer, School of Public Health and Family Medicine, Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Desmond Tutu Health Foundation. Dvora is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on evaluating innovative technologies and interventions to improve the delivery of HIV/STI prevention interventions (including pre-exposure prophylaxis) and treatment in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in pregnant women, male partners and families.

MAARTENS, Prof Gary MBChB, MMed, FCP SA DTM&H; Head of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology His main research interests are in the therapeutic aspects of HIV-associated tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis, antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings, and the pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral and anti-tuberculosis drugs.

McILLERON, Prof Helen MBChB(UCT), PhD in Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Medicine, University of Cape Town. Key research areas involve optimising doses and drug combinations for patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis or TB/HIV co-infection, and optimising anti-tuberculosis drug use in children.

She participates in research projects across Africa, as well as in Asia and South America where a key interest is the support and mentoring of investigator-initiated pharmacology research projects.

The Brain and Behaviour Initiative (BBI) enables cross-faculty, multidisciplinary, collaborative research in the cognitive and affective neurosciences and brings together expertise on phenotyping, genotyping, cognotyping, brain imaging and molecular signatures to address brain-behaviour issues.

New experimental techniques including brain imaging, genetic testing and neuropsychological assessment combined with new theoretical insights have opened up significant potential for the advancement of novel diagnostic tools and treatments for people with mental disorders. The initial focus on trauma and resilience has now extended to work in substance use and NeuroHIV.

ZAR, Prof Heather MBBCh, FAAP, PhD is head of Paediatric Pulmonology at Red Cross Childrens Hospital, University of Cape Town. Her research focuses on child lung high school dxd s5 including HIV-associated lung disease, childhood pneumonia and childhood TB.
